Is your station secure?

All department personnel must practice and assure safety and security of stations, vehicles, equipment and related items. Keep vehicle bay doors closed unless the bays are physically occupied by a department member. When responding or leaving the station, ensure, after exiting the bay, that the door is closed. If confronted with questions pertaining to department operations, including SOPs and SOGs, box alarms, response patterns, training times, member rosters/addresses, etc., do not provide the information. Document the incident and immediately report it. Should the inquiry appear extremely unusual in nature, do not hesitate to contact law enforcement. Emergency service personnel should be educated on a periodic basis and remain vigilant at all times.
